The winning answer: Spris Artisan Pizza, a new Downtown base for casual lunches of cured meats and
carpaccio-topped pies, now open.

You’ve probably popped into Spris on Lincoln Road for an alfresco dinner with a basic pie. You might’ve
even added a sunny-side egg on there. That’s all great. But this new spot’s a bit... different. See,
you’ll be ordering your crispy, thin-crust pizza from a counter. Which means expedited pie service. And that’s a very
good thing.

First things first: get hungry. There’s a solid chance of that happening during an afternoon meeting.
Gently relocate/adjourn the whole thing by saying something like “Hey guys, I know a great pizza-and-beer
spot in Downtown.” If that doesn’t work, pull a Ferris and fake something weird.

Once you’re inside, place your order at the marble counter. Then, sequester a corner of the blue banquette—it’s in front of the wall with sketches of
pizza toppings. That’s where you’ll spend your lunch hour inhaling prosciutto-and-arugula pie,
deep-fried gnocchi and a glass of Chianti.
